No ones ever gotten through a flood and said "darn, my house was too high."

Hello, suppose a part of a property is within Flood Zone. But, the other portion of the property is not in Flood Zone, meaning it's above the BFE. Would a house that's not in the flood zone still be required (by a lender, for instance) to have flood insurance?

🙏♥️

Excellent explanation! I know there are a lot of variables, but if a house that normally costs $400,000 to build has to be raised 2 feet, what range cost increase might be expected?

Can you recommend a good pier and beam construction company near enough to Georgetown TX to take on two houses?

I just purchased an acre on pleasure island in port arthur tx .. About 1.5hrs away from houston .. Have ya ever built a beach home ??? And do you think its feasible to build a house on piers thats 3k sqft for 350k to 450k ?

Great information. Can you recommend a builder knowledgeable about construction in floodplains in Atlanta area?

Very simple way of putting it for non construction savvy people like myself! Thanks.

Great video and explanation. Thank you

hi Zander Homes,are you looking for freelance hydrologist for calculating BFE for buillding?

Excellent, just what I needed, though I am in a completely different environment and type of flood zone. I suspect this is universally adapted across most residential construction, though the details of how to get there, is related to locality.

Great video. Could I apply these if I am building a home in Ohio too? I mean, even if it's not required by the local rules, would it be worth it do to on my own just to make the house better withstand a flood? Or not worth the cost?

40 piers. wow. any idea what the average cost of those piers would be?

Beautifully designed and precision built.

Thank you Brother, may the windows of Heaven open up and pour you out a blessing. Thank you Jesus, every knee shall bow.

Yikes! The power of zoning and building codes to affect demographics is pretty starkly laid out in this video. How does the region provide housing for lower wage workers it needs? Go vertical to spread the costs of the structure among more inhabitants? Allow lighter weight less expensive "tiny homes" that can be designed to be easily hoisted onto the piers? Lots of mountain towns in Colorado have been struggling with workers (the kind that actually do hard physical work) being priced out of the region for many years now. When I look at the map of private versus public land in TX it seems to me it needs a better balance. Public lands can really enhance the quality of life for large regions. Maybe the financials will drive TX to get serious about designating more development free 'recreational' landscapes over the next few hundred years ;)
